$10/month.  I encourage everyone able to do that. It's meant to keep the site up and running, not for profit.

OK, the feature may need to get up and running, it doesn't work yet.

Without subscribers, this site will go away. Hate to say it, but it's the truth.

We're all on board, I'm sure.  Maybe pin this thread for awhile?

While this makes sense, could we have one of our Mods express some context as to what our $10 mo fee is meant to underwrite.  Always good to provide transparency.

It'll all be explained when the link is active.  The link was meant as a notice of what's coming.

This site is on and always has been on a dedicated server.  That server is $3600/annually.  I have several other sites on the server including afro's dice game, my own site, and a site for a friend who does boat decking.

Im seeking at least $200 a month to keep things as they are.  As a subscriber it'll be just as it is now.  As a non subscriber you'll be able to read but not participate... membership will reopen to anyone wanting to subscribe. 

Again, I seek at least $200/mo to keep it running.  If there else excess, and if everyone who regulars the place contributes that'll be easy... I aint seeking to make money,  and its just flat not fair some pay and others don't... if there is excess it'll be rolled into some sort of prize with monetary winnings.  I'm thinking some sort of pickem?  That'll be transparent as day however it is put together.  The more people subscribed, the more win. 

I simply can't justify paying what I pay with negative return.  Thats why this has to happen. 

How dat fo transparency?

Perfect.  Good for those who may not fully appreciate that good shit costs money.

I'm already subscribed. I see $20/month come out of my Pay Pal going to Drew's company, for 5+ years or more even. Not sure. That's on top of the initial investment I made at start up.

More transparency for y'all.
